His name was Ryan

And I was seventeen

I'd be lying

If I said I didn't feel a thing

But he was six-foot-something with his hazel eyes

In his red mustang, driving all the girls wild

And driving me home from school everyday

I remember telling myself to stay away

'Cause his lover and mine were off in college in different states

But I still think of senior year

Homecoming parades and all those tears

I cried on the night

I knew I'd never see him again

Back then it was complicated

And who knows, maybe we might have made it

But sometimes, yeah I

I just wonder what might have been

If he wasn't long lost Ryan

Long lost Ryan

I oughta thank him

For all the good memories

Like my rainy birthday

And the secrets we'll always keep

That long trip on the bus showing me Coldplay

Told me I could hold his hand if I wasn't feeling brave

On that roller coaster ride, but I ran away

I don't know if it's my imagination or if he felt the same

But I loved another boy that left me

And he's still with his girl today

But I still think of senior year

Homecoming parades and all those tears

I cried on the night

I knew I'd never see him again

Back then it was complicated

And who knows, maybe we might have made it

But sometimes, yeah I

I just wonder what might have been

If he wasn't long lost Ryan

Long lost Ryan

My only regret is that

I left so much unsaid

But I still think of senior year

Homecoming parades and all those tears

I cried on the night

I knew I'd never see him again

Back then it was complicated

And who knows, maybe we might have made it

But sometimes, yeah I

I just wonder what might have been

If he wasn't long lost Ryan

Long lost Ryan

His name was Ryan

And I was seventeen

And I'd be lying

If I said I never feel a thing
